Amish Cash Secrets That’ll Make You Think Twice About Your Useless Junk!
Art of Amish Bartering
Bartering is alive and well, making cash nearly optional in Amish communities. Goods and services are exchanged without a dollar in sight, relying instead on a practical sense of worth. A few bushels of homegrown corn could secure some handmade furniture, or vice versa, depending on the need.
Value is determined by mutual agreement, with the quality, time, and effort behind each item weighed carefully. For larger trades, trust is key, and everyone knows the “value” of honest work. This approach saves money and fosters a sense of community where everyone’s skills are appreciated. Trading without cash is frugal and points out that mutual respect is an ideal currency.
